List of Kubernetes Folks on Twitter
Published on 18 Apr 2018 · Filed in Information · 527 words (estimated 3 minutes to read)Earlier this morning, I asked on Twitter about good individuals to follow on Twitter for Kubernetes information. I received quite a few good responses (thank you!), and I though it might be useful to share the list of the folks that were recommended across all those responses.
The list I’ve compiled is clearly incomplete! If you think someone should be added to this list, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and let me know. Alternately, feel free to submit a pull request (PR) that adds them to this list. I’m not going to “vet” the list, so I’ll add any and all recommendations (unless they are clearly not related to Kubernetes, such as a news anchorman someone recommended to me—not sure about that one!).
Without further ado, here is the list I compiled from the responses to my tweet, in no particular order (I’ve included full name and employer, where that information is available):

Some folks were explicitly called out as “influencers,” but I did not include that designation in the list above. It seems like a slippery slope to determine who is an influencer and who is not, so I’d rather just avoid any potential issues.
Here’s hoping others find this list useful!
UPDATE: William Lam, a former coworker of mine at VMware, has taken the time to create a Twitter list to make it easier for folks. That Twitter list is available here.
